I was looking for a portable speaker for my football tailgate parties that had clear sound even at high volume. I usually use a USB flash drive filled with thousands of songs so I needed a speaker that could amplify them with little or no problem. I really don't use the microphones since I don't do karaoke and my singing voice would scare adults, children and small rodents. I've had two other portable speakers in the past with varying degrees of success. One was a Pyle which died on me after one year, and the other is a QFX which is still working but the rechargeable battery has diminished quite a bit. My previous experiences with these things helped me to try and find an even better speaker that wouldn't break the bank account. Since I usually only use it for football season I always hope the battery will last about three or four years before it fades into oblivion. The PRORECK FREEDOM 15 seemed like a good fit for my needs. My order arrived very quickly but my first speaker was defective. The battery was completely dead. Charging didn't help and it would only play with the electrical cord plugged in. I contacted the seller through Amazon and they responded quickly (Thank You Vivian!). They sent me a replacement within a few days. Even though I've only had it for a few days it has performed very well. The sound is great...much better than my previous portable speakers. It also gets very loud. I barely turn up the volume and it blasts my music clearly (and it has a volume for MP3's and also main volume which work together to make it even louder). The Bluetooth works with my phone even though I rarely use it that way. The EQ works on the back and also has various modes for it on the remote. It comes with two wireless microphones but since I don't use them I can't comment on their reliability. I don't know how long the battery will last before I have to charge it but I'm guessing it would be between 3 or 4 hours (I'll find out during my first tailgate party in about three weeks). The speaker is very large but not extremely heavy. It has a hard plastic shell with wheels and it's easy to roll it around and to also pick it up by it's side handles. The remote control is rather small and I hope it lasts a while. My experience with remotes on portable speakers has been that they don't last long and stop working within a year or two. Hopefully this will be different. The question of durability will only be answered as time passes. I have to give great praise to the seller, PRORECK AUDIO for their amazing customer service. I buy a lot of stuff and much of it is electronic equipment. I rarely come across a seller that works as hard to make their customers happy. PRORECK AUDIO's Vivian Lee was fantastic in fixing my problem in an extremely fast and courteous manner. I would be more than happy to shop with them again. So, in conclusion, the speaker seems perfect for my needs and hopefully it will last long enough to get me through many of my pre-game football parties!

Solo singer songwriter. Sounds great have not tried on batteries yet. Clean powerful sound. Used a SM58, microphones included suck.

Great sound

Great sound powerful bass

i agree with the other reviewer. The speaker is great but the wireless microphone is ridiculously weak. i have to almost hold the microphone close to my teeth to have any voice captured.
